May God continue to bless the family of Bessie T. Gray.

Ms Gray is one of the sweetest ladies I remember working with at  The Med. Smiles we’re Definitely a part of loving spirit. I remember her helping anyone who needed her.  God has her on His Welcoming Team in Heaven. You will be one missing at our CHA meetings with a smile. Rest now in God’s Loving Arms.   ♥️  Brenda Partee Taylor RN FCN

On behalf of the American Cancer Society and CHA volunteers, our deepest sympathy to the family.  Ms. Bessie was one of the American Cancer Society's CHA volunteers.  Many days and years, she worked diligently with her fellow volunteers, delivering cancer prevention and early detection programs in the community, saving lives from cancer.  Ms. Bessie had the sweetest smile and was so kind, often times bringing me some of her delicious cake.
We will miss her, but never forget her!

Bert Fayne, 
American Cancer Society


To the family of Mrs B. Gray 
From the Baker Family.
Our Hearts are extra heavy to hear of the passing of our dear neighbor and friend of thirty five years. Mrs. Gray will forever be remembered for her beautiful smile and loving ways. With our deepest sympathy. Mr. and Mrs. Bob(Shelia) Baker and Family. 💞2050 Riverside blvd

I’ve known Ms Gray all my life have lived behind her for over 30 years . The Baker family sends their sincere condolences . The best caramel cake and the sweetest person you ever want to meet .

When we went to the zoo. I'll forever miss you grandma. Sorry I didn't make it in time. 

Mrs. Bessie was a second mom to me. She was an exceptional person. She loved every one that came into  life.  She was  faithful to God first and everything else fell in place like a puzzle piece. Although she was not my birth mother she loved me and my sister Roleta unconditionally.  I thank God for her love. Today I celebrate her legacy and memories that will be with me until I see her again. She got her crown and I know she is wearing it with that beautiful smile. RIP.        Love Rubye Clayton

She was always so proud of her family and was always there to show her support for us whenever she could. I love you grandma. 💙

Soror Sylvia and families, our deepest sympathies are with you during the celebration of your mom’s home-going.  As I believe as you too, “All IS WELL” for, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death for his saints“(Psalms 116:15).
Much Sisterly Love,
Soror Eunice R. Harris

Ms. Bessie always greeted you with a beautiful smile. She was humble, loving, and caring. Her home was filled with love. She loved her flowers and could make the best homemade Carmel Cake. She will be missed.

Truly a Queen..My Loving Mother-in-Law was a needed Blessing in my life..She was always so understanding & supportive. I will truly miss you and you will always be remembered in my heart &  soul forever.


Me and Mom went everywhere together. She loves to ride and go places.  She like to travel and shop. One time we were at Ross dept. store. She found a 3 piece suit for  $3.00. Lol 😂. Somehow they price it wrong, but they had to honor it.  We both got a kick out of it. Mom, I  love you so much. We ares so  Blessed that you have been in our life for  87 years.  Love you…😇

I met this sweet lady through my brother Melvin who is married to her daughter Pam  She was always smiling and so soft spoken she told me how to make a banging sweet potato pie and she could make cakes Like no  other!! She will be truly missed we love you Ms.  Bessie 
From your namesake Bessie Collins Love
